INFO
It was early 2007 when Inigo Kennedy inaugurated Token. Since that Identify Yourself 12” the Belgian label has gone from strength to strength, integrating both Kennedy and Ashley Burchett, aka Ø [Phase], into becoming integral cogs in the Token machine. In between releases by Grovskopa, Oscar Mulero and Go Hiyama, both Ø [Phase] and Inigo Kennedy dominated Token’s output, but it wasn’t until Burchett’s watershed Binary Opposition that Token received the shower of praise it deserved. Following this, label founder Kr!z issued three remix 12”s of that release which, including Token regulars, took in a profound cast of producers to reprocess “Binary Opposition” by the way of Sigha, Peter Van Hoesen, Planetary Assault Systems and Ben Klock. It was here Token stamped their authority on contemporary techno.

Since then Token has grown exponentially, bringing into their fold artists like Xhin, Mark Broom and Rødhåd, while Ctrls, formally one half of Northern Structures, has seen his solo career flourish on Token with the release of five records to date, and he joins Inigo Kennedy and Ø [Phase] as a label stalwart. Additionally this year, Orphx and Ancient Methods debuted their relentless Eschaton collaboration on Token, and Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates dalliance with Oscar Mulero has gained even more momentum with a second release called Kinematics Equations. Now, seven years after that debut Kennedy record, Token present Aphelion, a nine-track CD and triple vinyl grandstand of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for this milestone release.

The penultimate record before Aphelion was a second Token 12” by Rødhåd, another artist adding to the cultivation of the label’s sound and roster, and for this compilation the Berliner supplies his cosmically inspired “Haumea”. Joining the Dystopian founder on Aphelion are three of the UK’s most influential techno artists: Surgeon, James Ruskin and Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems alias who provide Token with solo material for the first time after previously appearing on the imprint in remix form. Entirely new names to grace the label via Aphelion include Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy, and Blawan and Pariah's Karenn project, while label faithfuls Inigo Kennedy,  Ø [Phase] and Ctrls naturally commit three Token defining productions.

Casting one’s eye over Token’s back catalogue and it’s clear to see the label is a staunch advocate of absolute techno, remaining steadfast in issuing quality material that remains true to classic strands of the genre regardless of its popularity flux. In that respect, Aphelion - a word used to describe the point in orbit when a planet or comet is farthest from the sun - provides a simple analogy that the magnetic force of Token, unfazed by the shadows cast by popular opinion, will proudly shine light on their artists and given styles. 

“We started in an era where our genre was very unpopular,” Kr!z explains. “And in the end that seemed a big advantage for us, because when everyone was giving up, we started our mission.” Regularly hosting label nights in prominent clubs around the world, Token has become a label supported by a wide-ranging body of artists like Âme and Ben Klock to Efdemin, Truss and Ancient Methods. With the label now branching out into album and compilation territory, Token’s duty to techno may not yet be accomplished, but it’s been a job well done.

Windeskind and Sami D. unveil their debut EP on Gain Records with two deeply immersive techno cuts that balance emotional depth and rhythmic force. Drawing from cosmic imagery and introspective textures, the release fuses melodic clarity with pulsing low-end energy.

“Love Of The Universe” opens the journey with a sense of expansiveness—gliding synths, echoing stabs, and a warm, driving groove that evokes connection beyond the physical. It’s euphoric yet grounded, a track that reaches upward while staying locked to the floor.

“Lunar Phase” dives into darker orbit, where tension builds through hypnotic patterns and sparse, shadowy motifs. There’s restraint in the arrangement, but the emotional charge remains potent—mysterious, lunar, and meditative.

An EP designed for moments of transcendence—late-night, eyes-closed, mind-open. Let it take you there.

Davestorm makes his debut on Gain Records with a two-track EP that blends raw groove with percussive finesse, delivering a vibrant and physical take on techno with tribal undertones and a powerful sense of motion.

“Ifuna” leans into deeper territory, fusing pulsating low-end with ritualistic percussion and atmospheric tension. The groove is hypnotic, the mood immersive—a modern tribal techno trip with a precise, cinematic edge.

“How We Do It” is a dancefloor weapon—bold, syncopated, and full of swagger. Shuffling rhythms and sharp vocal chops drive the track forward, channeling a stripped-back, body-oriented energy designed for peak-time impact.

A fierce and functional release from a producer who knows exactly how to move the room. Turn it up.

Alec Ben and Paul Divison return to Gain Records with Sunday Lovers, a four-track EP that explores the seductive side of techno through groove, repetition, and hypnotic detail.

With a sound that moves effortlessly between precision and instinct, the duo delivers stripped-back club tools with undeniable swing—each track built around tight percussive frameworks, rolling basslines, and textures that evolve subtly but decisively.

The EP captures that liminal space between tension and release, soundtracking long nights and fluid transitions. It’s music designed not to peak, but to persist—to lock the body into motion and the mind into flow.

A confident and refined statement from two producers who understand the power of restraint—and how to make it move.
